I know others have similar problems but found none with a solution so
far. I have exactly this tab already opened.

It crashes without clients.
Will now try jack1, if it doesn't help change slots until I have IRQs
fixed. My BIOS allows to reserve IRQs I just don't understand how that's
supposed to work:
I can choose either "PCI" or "reserved" per IRQ-number.
So...what's happening if I reserve let's say #15 ?
Anyway I'd have to check out which device is hw:0 and hw:1 again etc.
That's why I'll test jack1 first.
